Windshield Wiper Issue

My windshield wipers are driving me crazy. The intermittent kind of works, but will hang up, and then stop. I can hear a relay under the passenger side of the dash clicking away. Sometimes the hi and lo won't work either. I have a suspicion it is the relay but I saw a post a while back about how someone fixed the same problem, I just can't seem to find it now.

Mine did that until I replaced the turn signal switch for a different problem. Solved both issues.

I actually found out that long ago I had bookmarked it. Basically the contacts in the intermittent motor had gotten grease on them from the worm gear so I cleaned it all up, and now all 3 modes work perfectly. In case anyone else is looking for a fix the link is https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ost-fix-2.html
